Product Description
Dometic RUA 6508X 3 Way 180 Litre Dual Hinge Fridge & Freezer, 3 year warranty. The Dometic RUA 6508X is an upright 3-way absorption fridge that is different to the other 3-way fridges you may have seen courtesy of its tall yet narrow design. This makes it a suitable flexible option for your kitchen without compromising on storage space, with a generous 180L storage capacity which includes shelving in both the fridge and freezer door compartments. The narrow design also makes installation easy as you can easily fit it through your vans door, rather than having to remove a window for access.
The Dometic RUA refrigerators provide the reliable refrigeration performance that the RV market has come to expect from Dometic refrigerators. The T-rated cooling systems ensure excellent performance in both high and low ambient temperatures, making these refrigerators an excellent choice for all conditions. The built-in control panel is intuitive and easy to use, allowing users to select a temperature range and a variety of preset modes. Each model features double hinge opening giving you the convenience to open from either left or right at any time

- Narrow cabinet design with slim footprint
- Double hinged for easy access from either side
- Reversible door suits any layout

-
Absorption 3 way refrigerators need to be installed and certified by a qualified and licensed gas-fitter, as improperly or illegally installed products will void the manufacturer’s warranty, and could pose a safety risk.
-
While 3 way absorption fridges have the ability to run off 3 different power sources (12V / 240V / Gas), they are primarily designed with gas operation in mind; they provide exceptional efficiency when running on gas. However for 12 Volt operation, this is only recommended with absorption fridges when the vehicle is running, otherwise it can exhaust your 12 volt power source (battery) very quickly.
Note: This product is a gas appliance that must be installed by a qualified and licenced gas fitter to the current Australian Standard. Failure to do so will void the warranty and may pose a health and safety risk.

Product Q&A
-
How often do I need to service my Dometic RV/Caravan appliances?
Dometic recommend servicing their gas appliances on a yearly basis, even if the vehicle has not been used. Additionally, bear in mind that insects can built nests in the gas appliances which will cause the appliances to stop working. It can also cause potentially dangerous scenarios.
For other appliances, such as refrigerators and air conditioners, to ensure the appliances to work efficiently and last longer it is recommended to clean the condenser.
-
Does the RUA model only work on gas mode?
The battery save mode available on the RUA models will allow the refrigerator to operate in gas mode only if activated. The exterior fan and frame heater will also be deactivated in this mode. Consideration of the ambient temperature needs to be made if this setting is to be selected.
-
How do I deactivate the child-lock in my RUA/RUC model refrigerator?
These models have a great lock for children to prevent any accidental adjustments. You know that you have activated the child-lock if you are unable to change the temperature or the power source. You can either permanently deactivate or temporarily override the lock - please see below:
- Temporarily Override the Child-lock:
- Push the control knob 3 times within 1.5 seconds
- The lock will be reactive again after 10 seconds without touching the control knob
- Permanently Deactivate the Child-lock:
- Start with doing a temporarily override, after that simply turn off the child lock in the settings menu
-
Do you require a 12v DC power supply to operate fridge on gas or 240v mains power?
Not all Dometic 3-Way Absorption Fridge models. Models such as the RM2350, RM2453, RM2553, RM4601, RUA6408X and RUA8408X are manually selected to gas and have a push button ignition which means they do not need a 12v electrical connection ie they are manual ignition. They reduce gas flame to a pilot flame when not needing to cool further/cycle off and increase flame when they do.
On the other hand all MES - Manual Energy Selection , AES - Automatic Energy Selection & UES (Selectable AES & MES modes) all require a 12v feed to give basic function even on AC power. One of the things this enables is the engaging of the gas supply and the ignition of the gas.
The MES/AES/UES models disengage gas supply when cycling. When cycling back on the gas supply is engaged and the ignition automatically & electronically engaged.
